josepp, I know you did not invent Oannes - it is the links I find unlikely. I basically selected from the first sites that google threw up, and I admit I did not read the last text - but it was the only one that remotely looked like something original. It hasn't been scanned very well, has it?

I'm glad Atlantis makes you wince, and clearly the Hyperboreans had some sort of existence, though in some places the meaning is stretched in directions the original references do not support. But they were invoked in some of those places, along with the ideas you have been putting forward.

The last text, by the way, gets better scanned further in, but is not a primary source - I would call it gnostic, except it calls itself theosophy, and proclaims as truth various concepts without explaining where it gets them from. The style looks 19th century or early 20th.
